Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have acquired highly specialised and integrated knowledge and broad skills in the various disciplines of computer science, which come after those within the Bachelor's in computer science.
• Manage large-scale software development projects.
• Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
• Manage research, development and innovation.
• Understand unprecedented problems in computer science and its applications.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the course, the student should:
- understand the importance, needs and specificities of software engineering activities (such as requirements analysis, design, implementation and testing);
- understand the importance and principles of software modeling, model simulation, model execution and code generation;
- use the UML modeling language for analysing and designing software systems;
- use advanced object-oriented software development concepts such as design patterns;
- undertstand the importance of software testing, and be able to use unit testing in practice  

Content of UE

The goal of this course is to learn how use model-driven software engineering principles when realising a software system. The following themes are covered:
- software process models and the software development life-cycle
- software modeling
- The UML modeling language: class diagrams, use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, statecharts
- model simulation, executable modeling and source code generation
- meta-modeling and model transformation
- advanced aspects of object-oriented programming: design patterns and refactoring
- software testing, with a specific focus on unit testing
     

Prior Experience

A good knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts, and practical experience with the Java programming language.
